The story behind the photo

You guys didn't actually think I threw on some coveralls, a hardhat and some rubber boots just to show you what I'd wear to slay zombies did you? I sure hope not. That's even a bit beyond me... the girl who loves a good costume and photoshoot. The real story is last week I received a call from Kim at Parks Canada, asking if I'd like to go light a forest fire. Well, that might be a stretch. I could be exaggerating a wee tiny bit. I wasn't actually asked to light it. I was, though, asked to accompany the fire management crew while they lit it. They were working on a fireguard on the slopes of Mount Greenock, which means they were literally being paid to light things on fire. How awesome would that job be!? A pyromaniac's dream!
